Description

The General Electric IC697MDL250 is a high-density discrete input module designed for the GE Series 90-70 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system. This module provides 32 points of input, specifically engineered for 120V AC applications. It serves as a critical interface between field devices and the PLC, converting external AC signals into logic-level inputs for the CPU to process.

Features

• 32-point discrete input capacity for high-density signal monitoring.
• Compatible with 120V AC input voltage ranges.
• Designed for seamless integration into the GE Series 90-70 rack-based architecture.
• Standard input current of 10 mA per point.
• Reliable performance in industrial control environments.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure power is completely disconnected from the rack before inserting or removing the module to prevent electrical damage or personal injury.
• Verify that the module is fully seated in the designated slot of the Series 90-70 backplane and that the locking levers are secured.
• Use appropriate shielded cabling for field inputs to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Ensure proper grounding of the PLC rack system to maintain signal integrity and safety.
• Maintain adequate spacing around the module to allow for proper ventilation and heat dissipation during operation.

FAQ
